[5] James Grebey, for SyFy Wire, wrote that the updated rules decouple "cultural characteristics from the physical or magical ones" and it "removes setting-specific information about the races, which combined with the more flexible stat alignment should make them easier to slot into any fantasy world [...]. Furthermore, the old way of creating characters made it so some races were poor choices for certain classes. [...] The monsters section of the book aims to make DMs' lives easier, like by simplifying how monsters cast spells". [30]

Orcs originally came from the same mountainous region where the kingdom of Torrezon was born, and they have been enemies of the Legion of Dusk since it was originally formed. The entire race has been declared anathema by the Church of Torrezon, and after centuries of fighting the Legion, the orcs have dwindled to only a few hundred in number. Some still live on remote islands near Torrezon, but many have joined the Brazen Coalition to serve on pirate ships — taking on any role that calls for an abundance of sheer muscle. Size.

This leads many people to treat known changelings with fear and suspicion.
